Heavy equipment modelling
Heavy equipment or construction vehicle modelling is a hobby in which heavy equipment is modelled at a reduced scale.
In the US, they are commonly sold as promotional models for new construction equipment, commissioned by the manufacturer of the prototype real-world equipment. The major manufacturers in Germany are Conrad and NZG, with some competition from Chinese firms that have been entering the market.[1]
Heavy equipment modelling is sometimes done in Lego bricks.[2] The construction and addition of built-to-scale heavy equipment in a construction site is seen as a good addition to a model railroad.[3][4]
Some models even incorporate hydraulics and radio control.[5]
